Court house security costs dear
GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
through the OntarioMunicipal Partner- ship Fund to help cover some of the court house security expense, but that still leaves more than $100,000 added to this year’s municipal budget. Champlain’s mayor noted that last year the township was responsible for about a $10,000 share of the court secu- rity bill because other municipalities in Prescott-Russell contributed on a per capita basis through their policing service bills. He noted that last year Hawkesbury’s share of the court security was about $58,000 while Alfred-Plan- tagenet Township, a rural community close in population size to neighbouring Champlain Township, contributed about $11,000. Barton asked the counties council to look into a new cost-sharing plan for court house security. He suggested one possiblemethod with a per capita charge for all municipalities of $1 per person based on their population totals. Most of the mayors on counties council expressed sympathy for Cham- plain Township’s situation and agreed that the UCPR finance department look into the situation and report back on possible solutions during a futuremee- ting.
Champlain Township’s mayor went “hat in hand” to counties council to ask his fellowmayors for some help. Mayor Gary Barton asked if the other seven municipalities in the United Counties of Prescott-Russell would be willing to go back to sharing the cost for security at the provincial court house in L’Orignal. That was how the system used to work when all the UCPR’s muni- cipalities contributed to court security through their police service billing. But the provincial government changed to a new billingmethod for municipalities which contract with the OPP for policing; so now financial responsibility for court security rests with Champlain Township because the court house is located wit- hin that municipality. «I’m looking for some generosity on the part of my fellowmayors,» said Bar- ton. «When they (province) changed the police billingmodel, we got all the court costs. We are saddled with court security costs of about $172,000.» Barton noted that adding to the town- ship’s expenses is the arrival of a letter from the OPP billing department of ano- ther potential $40,000 addition to the municipality’s cost. The township will get a $67,000 grant from the province
Security for the provincial court house in L’Orignal is all on the financial shoulders of Champlain Township now.
